ttodhunter Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I f'd up on my fuel tank repair and let the sealer seal the pickup. A local yard has a 76 2+2 tank for $50, does anyone know if there are any differences between that and a coupe? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 As long as they are of comparable vintage 76---that is the year they swapped from small to large tanks. Roughly Pre-6/76 tanks are the smaller size, Post 7/76 tanks are the larger size---so chances are good that a 1/76 production date car, and a 8/76 production date car will have a DIFFERENT tank. 7/76 and 12/76: Same. 4/76 and 5/76: Same. Anything in the months of 6 & 7/76 should be visually verified... But the 2+2 and Coupe take the same tank. It's just 76 was an oddball year for North American Production Z's.

ttodhunter Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 So the junkyards "76" turned out to be a 74 260. I'm assuming the Carb'd tank is different than the FI? The 260 did have a dual Weber setup and they said they would sell the manifolds for $50... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Yep. Big difference on the inside. As you know, 74 = carb'd, 75 - 76 = the tank you want... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
